SOUNDING THE RIGHT NOTE


Coun Penny Smith has kindly volunteered to try and get an organ installed in the Angel Suite, to give added value to events at Brigg’s community venue.
It appears the organ is free to collect to the town council from a chapel somewhere in deepest Broughton, but there have been problems getting hold of the right person with the right key, and organising the organ's move to our town.
Maybe, once it's installed at its new home in Brigg, we can have a demonstration.
Before readers get the impression it's a much-loved mighty Wurlitzer, of the type made famous at seaside resorts, we should point out this is much more modest.
We have a basement at the Angel Suite, it's true, but there's no chance of the organ rising through the floor of the ex-ballroom above.
Brigg's Angel Suite will never rival Blackpool's Tower Ballroom. But the organ's arrival will be a welcome addition. Now all we need to do is find Brigg's answer to Reginald Dixon (look him up on Google, if his name means nothing to you!)

Is it a Penny Organ?

To save space, why can't music be 'piped' from the church?

Reginald Dixon - wasn't he PC49 at Dock Green??? 'Evenin' all'
